Aircel DC-2500 Cycling Refrigerated Dryer

With the introduction of Aircel's DC Series (1,000 - 4,000 scfm) refrigerated air dryers, the bar has been raised and a new performance standard has been set for cycling dryers. You no longer have to accept dryers with a large heavy footprint, circulating pumps, unpredictability, and uncontrollable dew points as found in typical cycling dryers utilizing 30 year old technology.

• 38°F - 50°F Dew Point
• Ambient Air Temperature 35°F - 120°F
• Maximum Inlet Air Temperature 140°F
• Maximum Operating Pressure: 200 psig
• 1 Year Standard Limited Warranty
• Environmentally Friendly Refrigerant R-134a
• SingleCel (1,000-2,000 scfm) & MultiCel (2,500-4,000 scfm)

From heavy industrial to high technology environments, Aircel's DigiCel offers you the exact air treatment you require. Aircel's DigiCel is a truly energy efficient dryer design that provides the precise dew point control that industrial processes demand. The DigiCel is available in SingleCel models, ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 scfm and MultiCel models ranging from 2,500 to 4,000 scfm, offering total installation flexibility to meet your specific needs.

How the DC Heat Exchanger Works

Hot, saturated compressed air is first precooled by exiting cold air in the air-to-air heat exchanger. The precooled air then enters the evaporator where it is cooled to its final dew point. The mixture of cold air and condensation flows into the three-stage separator/demister where liquids and contaminants are reliably removed and ejected from the system via a programmable timer drain valve. The cold air is then reheated by the incoming hot air before leaving the dryer.

Digital Scroll Technology

Simply put, one scroll remains stationary while the other one orbits around it.

• Gas enters the outer opening as one scroll orbits the other.
• The open passage is sealed as gas is drawn into the compression chamber.
• As one scroll continues orbiting, the gas is compressed into an increasingly smaller "pocket."
• Gas is continually compressed to the center of the scrolls, where it is discharged through precisely machined ports and returned to the system.
• During actual operation, all passages are in various stages of compression at all times, resulting in near-continuous intake and discharge.

Why Choose Digital Scroll?

Efficiency

• Scroll compressors achieve 100% volumetric efficiency during the compression process.
• Digital technology provides precision capacity control that reduces power consumption linearly.

Reliability

• The scroll design offers superior liquid handling capabilities and requires no tip seals that wear out.

Quiet Operation with Less Vibration

• Several pockets of gas are compressed simultaneously, providing nearly continuous compression cycles for smooth and quiet operation.
